Overview

Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone microarchitecture, resulting in increased bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture. It develops when bone resorption by osteoclasts outpaces formation by osteoblasts, reducing bone mineral density and impairing the structural quality of trabecular and cortical bone. Major determinants include age, declining sex-hormone levels particularly oestrogen after menopause, calcium and vitamin D status, physical activity, and secondary causes such as drug exposure and chronic disease. The clinical importance of osteoporosis lies in fragility fractures, especially of the hip, spine, and wrist, which carry substantial morbidity and mortality in older adults, making nutrition and bone health a focus of prevention. Peer-reviewed research in this area examines osteoporosis knowledge and calcium intake among women, the effect of vitamin D on bone-health parameters in osteoblast cell lines, experimental models of cadmium-induced osteoporosis and protective plant extracts, vitamin D status in relation to falls and balance, secondary hip fractures among aging adults, and the role of nutraceuticals and functional foods in bone health. Studies combine cell and animal models, clinical and observational investigation, and review. This work connects nutritional and physiological factors to bone integrity and fracture risk. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research in nutrition addressing osteoporosis and bone health.
